Going solar in Bracken Ridge
Brisbane's northside ranges from the grand old homes of Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield to family suburbs like Aspley, Chermside and Bracken Ridge and the bayside villages of Sandgate and Shorncliffe.
Brisbane covers everything from Queenslanders with tin roofs and tight inner-city lots to big brick homes in the southern and western suburbs. Every roof is different, which is why we measure and design each one on site.
Bracken Ridge is on the Energex network. Most homes can export up to 5kW per phase on a standard connection, and newer dynamic connections allow more. We size your inverter to get the most from those limits and lodge the Energex application for you.

Bracken Ridge: history and local area
Early settlers found bracken fern growing everywhere, so they named their property after it, and the name carried into an estate and then the suburb. Land first sold in August 1857, and John McPherson and James Ferguson became the first to actually settle in 1862. The suburb as we know it was established in the 1960s, with estates like The Oaks, Enbrook Heights and Sungate following.
Hilly streets rise to a park and reservoir at the top, where you can see Moreton Bay to the east and the city skyline to the south. With close to 17,500 residents it is a big suburb. Shopping is spread across Gawain Road, Barrett Street and a larger centre at Telegraph and Norris roads. Schools run from primary to TAFE, and the aquatic centre opened in 2016.
Homes on Bracken Ridge's hillier streets often catch sun from the bay side early, and an east-west panel split can stretch generation across the day for busy family households.
